Quick, Cheap, and Easy Mod Today. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Got rid of the "fried egg look" on the front end of the Yaris today.

The size is: 7507A from http://xenonmods.com/

They are chromish silver colored, but when signaling, still light up orange.

This inexpensive, quick easy mod really cleaned up the front IMO...

Blue would have been too rice looking for my tastes

Out of the box...

Installed. Sorry for no before pictures, just go look at your own!

Closer..... and even closer.

All lit up.. Still blinks nice and bright, but not as bright as the original bulbs.. that's to be expected, with a coated bulb.

Enjoy.

Looking nice very orangey

Looks good. Just feel lucky that Toyota is past the "lexus amber reflector" stage. back in the day, we use to have to remove an amber reflector to get ride of the amber color in our headlights. Nowadays, all you gotta do is a chrome bulb ...you break my

this is like one of the mods that i've been planning to do since the first day i got my car... just too lazy to search for the bulb.... lol

for those who want to compare...here's a picture of how it looks with the factory bulb....the silver bulb definitly gives a cleaner look.

Really nice....has anyone heard tho if you can remove and replace the amber lense that is on both the sedan and the HB headlamps?

Search the "HID" post.. last page, towards the bottom.. I gave some info the other night.

But quick and to the point, they are Nuxen 6500k H4 HIDs. Right now my GB is $230 shipped in the US on the exact kit.

Thanks man, I searched for like 2 minutes because I figured you had posted something about it but my attention span ran out quickly. Go fig.

Wanted to do this mod but the Narva Invisible signal lights costs AUD38/pair. Then I read an easy DIY invisible signal light. Take a normal amber bulb. Scuff up the glass a bit. With silver spray paint, lightly coat the bulb only, not the metal part. Let dry and test it. Its silver when off but lights amber when on. As I already had a can of silver spray paint, it only cost me AUD5.00 for the amber lights.
